The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Does anyone else enjoy mediocre work coffee machine coffee? (feddit.nl)

It's weird. I have been working from the office 5 days a week instead of the normal 2-3 days for a few months.

Now I only get to have my nice V60 coffee on the weekends because my 1 hour to 1h15 commute time takes up too much time.

I end up using the work coffee machine, which does grind whole beans for my coffee at work. It is very inconsistant. The same setting often gives either watery coffee or overextracted coffee depending on how it feels that minute.

It has made me really enjoy and savor my weekend coffee much more than when I was having good coffee every day. Like the contrast made me realize how good it already was without chasing a better grinder/better water/better methods.

Does anyone else have this sort of experience?

It does make our good "home coffee" even better!

To add, we watched James Hoffman's review of good instant coffee and tried the Percol instant. It's certainly good enough for later-in-the-day coffees, but we always start with the good stuff.

Great username btw!
